NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tuesday October 15 2019 3 News Harvey takes reins at SARA • By Claire Booker A NEW chairman has been appointed to the St Albans Residents Association – and for the first time in nearly 10 years the role will be held by a man. Jason Harvey has stepped up to fill the role previously held by Emma Twaddell, who has since been employed as a community activator. But Mr Harvey, who started last Jason Harvey week, has no concerns about taking on the role as a male. “I think what matters is a passion for developing a great community,” he said. Mr Harvey has been closely involved with the mitigation of the Downstream Effects Management Plan, which is set to bring more than 48,000 vehicles through the suburb. Before moving to St Albans in 2011, Mr Harvey was a volunteer firefighter for about four years. He is also involved with youth groups and youth camps, and was an under-10 to under-13 coach at the Shirley Rugby Club for a few years. NEW BEGINNINGS: Former St Albans Residents Association chairwoman Emma Twaddell has taken up a community activator role. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN Mr Harvey, alongside Mark Wilson, helped organise a petition to try and stop the Christchurch Northern Corridor motorway traffic from being funnelled through St Albans. He said it is an honour to land the role. “SARA has done an amazing job in advocating for our community. I’m looking forward to continuing that work with everyone,” he said. Mr Harvey’s priorities in his new role are to continue with the work the association already has under way. “The next year is a big ‘I think what matters is a passion for developing a great community’ – Jason Harvey one with the opening of the Christchurch Northern Corridor and all the associated works related to that, and the building of the new community centre,” he said. Ms Twaddell gave up full-time employment 13 years ago to be a full-time mother, and she is excited to move back into her role as a community activator. “Being well over dishes and washing, I’m excited to be employed again in a field that I think is very rewarding. The role is about using SARAs resources to enable residents and local groups to develop local groups, activities and events,” she said. Ms Twaddell said she doesn’t know Mr Harvey very well, but believes he has a quiet calmness about him. “He is diligent and in a good team, I think he will be a good leader, especially with a strong committee behind him,” she said. Peter Jaspers and Conrad Fitzgerald have also joined the association’s committee. In Brief BIRD-SCARING GUNS Two bird-scaring gas guns will be placed along the Christchurch Northern Corridor this month to ward of birds. The gas guns will be placed as far away from residential properties as possible, but the noise may be heard from a distance. The guns will be used until the plants are established. It is likely they will be taken away in December. CRANFORD ST WORK Work was due to start on Monday to upgrade Cranford St to four lanes, with a central median and cycle lanes on both sides of the road. The intersection of Cranford St and Innes Rd will also be widened, and turning lanes will be improved. All traffic on Cranford St will be moved to the east side of the road and there will be 30km/h speed limit. The work will take two and three weeks. REDWOOD LIBRARY OPEN After a two-month closure for repairs and refurbishment, the Redwood Library has reopened. It was due to open on August 26, but damage to the concrete slab around the structural steel columns was found and repaired. rechargeable hearing aids • Simple to use Christchurch Heritage Festival • No battery - no ongoing costs • Just charge and go!
